As you may recall, last month for Th3 we had an interactive cupcake installation to promote the first Th3 giveaway- a cake designed by one of CNY’s premiere sugar artists, Jennifer Comfort of She Takes The Cake. We had an overwhelming interest as people showed up at the gallery in record numbers for Th3. All 108 cupcakes were gone by the end of the night. We had so many people participate in the drawing that the winner ended up being one of our visitors! The winner, Alysia Bonvino, a dentist/dancer from Cicero, is pictured above at Delavan Art Gallery as “she takes the cake” home just in time for Mother’s Day. The painting behind her is "Red Flow" by Lutz Scherneck. Congratulations Alysia!

Film Fest report

It was our pleasure to host film screenings as part of the Syracuse International Film Festival on May 2-4, 2008. Below are some photos of the events. The gallery windows were blocked off and Visual Technologies did a great job of installing a projector and screen with a black backdrop. Because of their work, the gallery worked surprisingly well as theater. As a plus, people enjoyed looking at the art before and after. The volunteers enjoyed it too because they were able to watch the films between breaks. At some venues, the volunteers are located outside the theater, but ours is so small and intimate they were part of the whole thing! All around, it was a great experience with some wonderful films.
